PORT RICHEY, Fla. (FOX 13) - Investigators in Pasco County have confirmed that a body found at a home in Port Richey last week is indeed the missing wife of a triple-murder suspect.

Detectives announced Tuesday that Jamie Ivancic’s body was found at the Norwood Avenue home.
[...]
Tuesday, they confirmed that she had been killed, the victim of unspecified blunt force trauma. She may have been dead for up to a year, explained Col. Jeff Harrington, the chief deputy.
 
Body identified as wife of murder suspect found in Lakewood

Authorities said they believe the family was killed sometime around Dec. 19 or 20, 2018. Their bodies were found by police inside the family's residence on Jan. 1.

A body was later found at a second location on Jan. 6 and identified as the couple's daughter. A family member said authorities told them the body was badly decomposed and was "basically just bones."

Authorities said they believe Jamie Ivancic's body had been in the ground for around a year in the yard of a residence where she and Svensen previously lived. An initial autopsy indicated that she died from blunt force trauma and authorities say they believe she was killed at the Florida residence where she was found buried.

After Jamie Ivancic's death, authorities say Svensen "tricked" his wife's family members into thinking she was just unavailable to talk. Police are investigating whether or not Svensen merely offered excuses to her family as to why his wife couldn't talk or if he masqueraded as his wife on social media.

This is horrific. Skeletal remains, buried for about a year, blunt force trauma... I cannot even imagine. The depth of this man's depravity and the length of this coverup. Those poor kids.
 
Tarpon Springs murder suspect pretended wife was still alive, deputies say
January 8, 2019
For months, Shelby Svensen led relatives to believe that his wife, Jamie Ivancic, was alive, according to the Pasco County Sheriff's Office. But whenever someone reached out to her, they couldn’t actually talk to her on the phone.

In reality, investigators believe Svensen killed his wife at their Port Richey home months ago.

“The investigation indicates it may be as long as a year ago,” Pasco sheriff’s Col. Jeff Harrington said at a Tuesday news conference.
[...]
Jamie Ivancic told family members that she was planning on leaving Svensen about a year ago, the colonel said, but the agency did not say if that was the motive for her murder.

The latter three with found dead with their dogs on New Year's Day at their mobile home on Juanita Way in Tarpon Springs.
 
Why did he go kill her parents and brother? And those poor little dogs! What on Earth! If she’d been dead all those months, why kill them now? This is so confusing, and all so senseless. My heart goes out to their families and friends. jmo

My guess is that they were finally not going to listen to his excuses anymore. They wanted to see their daughter/sister and so he had to kill them. Why he thought he'd get away with it I have no idea.

Both Nicholas and Jamie were adopted by the couple as young kids. In early 2016, Jamie met Svensen, her future husband, who was friends with Nicholas at the time. The couple married in November 2017, according to the Times.

It was Svensen’s second marriage. Cleveland 19 News reported he was previously convicted of domestic violence against his first wife in 2013 after Svensen turned violent when his then-wife would not allow him and his friends to smoke marijuana in the house.

The relationship between Svensen and Jamie seems to have also been rocky. Jamie’s sister, Karma Stewart, told the Times that the two spoke over a FaceTime call on Jan. 25, 2018. During the conversation, Jamie said she was planning on taking the two kids and leaving Svensen.

However, after that phone call, Stewart never spoke directly with Jamie, she told the Times. Instead, she received the occasional text or pictures of the children from Jamie’s phone throughout 2018. A friend also told the newspaper that Laura Ivancic reported she too had only spoken to her daughter through texts and photos of the kids.

At the same time, Svensen was telling family members his wife was working or too busy to talk on the phone, according to Harrington of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.

In reality, Jamie was dead and buried under the lawn in Port Richey. Harrington said it appeared Jamie was killed at the house.

The ‘black sheep’: Friends recall a troubled past for Tarpon Springs murder suspect
January 12, 2019
[...]
When Shelby Svensen returned to his native Ohio just before Christmas, friends said he showed up driving an SUV they’d never seen before, flashing cash and jewelry.

The 25-year-old acted invincible, they said. He called himself “God” and “sugar daddy.”

[...] He said Svensen told him that he had inherited $25,000. Svensen said he wanted to settle down in Lakewood, Ohio, with his two young children and “live it up.” He put down a year’s rent on a house. He went to Walmart everyday, Marcano said, and came back with TVs, Playstations, appliances and workout equipment.
[...]
Svensen had always been an “oddball” and a “loner,” friends said. He sponged off others and could turn violent. He had two kids, ages 2 and 3, but seemed ill-suited for fatherhood. He sought contentment, but only brought discontent.

“He was into spirituality and being healthy and working out,” Marcano wrote in a Facebook message. “(He) wanted to be happy and to have a life where he provides his true known value. We would dream about it all the time.

“But yeah man, dude was inappropriate. Would curse and be aggressive in front of children, mothers, cops doesn’t matter.”
[...]
The Tarpon Springs Police Department said Svensen confessed to killing his three in-laws. The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said he also confessed to killing his wife, and the agency said it intends to charge him with her murder.

Transport of Tarpon Springs Murder Suspect to Pinellas Taking Over 2 Weeks
PUBLISHED 2:03 PM EST Feb. 02, 2019
[...]
Spectrum Bay News 9 has learned that Nealy was picked up from an Ohio jail on January 18 to be brought to the Pinellas County Jail.

The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office says they hired an independent contractor to transport Nealy. Sergeant Spencer Gross said, “The Sheriff is responsible for transporting and extraditing prisoners back to Pinellas County. It is more cost effective to utilize an independent contractor who can transport multiple prisoners for multiple agencies at the same time rather than sending our deputies to transport one prisoner back to Pinellas.”

The cost for his extradition is $1,103.85.

Gross says it’s not usual for it to take a few weeks for a prisoner to be transported because the vehicle is picking up and dropping off other prisoners on the way.

Nealy arrived at the Pinellas County Jail at about 2 p.m. Saturday.
 
Tarpon Springs triple homicide: Three killed to hide one murder, records show
Shelby Nealy, a.k.a. Shelby Svensen, faces three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of the Ivancic family. He spent a month in an Ohio jail but was extradited back to Pinellas County on Saturday.
Updated February 3, 2019
In order to cover up one murder, police say Shelby Nealy killed three other people.

Nealy bludgeoned Richard and Laura Ivancic and their grown son, Nicholas, before Christmas, according to newly released court records, because they were starting to suspect something had happened to their daughter Jamie.
[...]
“Jamie’s parents, Richard and Laura Ivancic, were starting to get suspicious because they had not heard their daughter’s voice . . .,” a detective wrote in the complaint. So in December, Nealy drove his ex-wife’s car to their Tarpon Springs home “with the intent to kill all three victims.”
[...]
Nealy ambushed each family member with a hammer starting Dec. 15, records show. He attacked Richard Ivancic, 71, first. Police did not say, however, if Nealy broke into the family’s home or was invited in.

When Laura Ivancic, 59, returned home later that day, records show Nealy killed her in the kitchen with the same hammer. Then Nealy wrapped the two bodies in rugs and placed his in-laws in a bedroom.

That evening, Nicholas Ivancic, 25, returned home. He was asleep on the sofa, records show, when Nealy used the same hammer on him early Dec. 16.

Fourth murder charge filed in Tarpon Springs triple homicide case
February 22, 2019
LARGO — Shelby Nealy now faces his fourth murder charge for the first murder he’s accused of committing: the 2018 slaying of his ex-wife.

The 25-year-old man learned he had been charged with a fourth count of first-degree murder during his first appearance hearing in court on Friday. He was arrested in Ohio on Jan. 3 on three counts of first-degree murder and extradited back to Pinellas County on Feb. 2.
[...]
In January 2018, Nealy killed his ex-wife and buried her body in their Pasco County yard. He then used her phone to send text messages and photos of their two young children to family and friends to fool them into thinking she was still alive.

Nealy feared her family was about to unravel that scheme. So in December he left Texas and headed to their Tarpon Springs intending to kill the Ivancic family, according to an arrest warrant. He started ambushing the family members one at a time on Dec. 15. He used a hammer and bludgeoned Richard Ivancic, then his wife Laura Ivancic, and then their grown son Nicholas Ivancic.
[...]
Officials said Nealy will soon be taken to Pasco County. But it was not known whether he will stand trial for the fourth murder charge in Pasco, or if it would be combined with the pending trial for the three Pinellas murders.
